Axions and the white dwarf luminosity function
(2009)The evolution of white dwarfs can be described as a simple cooling process. Recently, it has been possible to determine with an unprecedented precision their luminosity function, that is, the number of stars per unit volume ... -
Testing the initial-final mass relationship of white dwarfs
(2009)In this contribution we revisit the initial-final mass relationship of white dwarfs, which links the mass of a white dwarf with that of its progenitor in the main-sequence. Although this function is of paramount importance ... -

Spirituality and learning disabilities: a qualitative study
(2002)This article describes a unique empirical study where critical incidents were obtained from learning disability nurses to understand how they attempt to meet the spiritual needs of the people for whom they care. Following ... -
Continuing the epidemiological function of the Addicts Index - evidence from matching the Home Office Addicts Index with the National Drug Treatment Monitoring System
(2004-04)Aims: We discuss the Addicts Index (AI) and examine whether the epidemiological trends of the AI can be continued by the regional drug misuse databases (DMDs, now known as National Drug Treatment Monitoring System (NDTMS). ... -
Drug abuse-related mortality: a study of teenage addicts over a 20-year period
(1999)There is growing concern about increase in illicit drug use and associated fatalities in young people. -
Suicide among drug addicts in the UK
(1999)The extent of suicide among addicts in the UK has not been sufficiently examined. -
Intubation using the Miller and Airtraq laryngoscopes: a paediatric manikin study
(2011)To see if the Airtraq™ paediatric laryngoscope is easier and faster for paramedic students to use than the traditional Miller (straight blade) laryngoscope. -
Effect of a collaborative approach on the quality of prescribing for geriatric inpatients: a randomized, controlled trial
(2007)To evaluate the effect of pharmaceutical care provided in addition to acute Geriatric Evaluation and Management (GEM) care on the appropriateness of prescribing. -
Does wearing CBRN-PPE adversely affect the ability for clinicians to accurately, safely, and speedily draw up drugs?
(2010)Following a Chemical, Biological, Radiation, or Nuclear (CBRN) incident, the attending rescuers will be required to administer drugs while wearing the CBRN Personal Protective Equipment (CBRN-PPE). Little is known regarding ... -
High resolution X-ray observation and monitoring of the x-ray jet and radio lobes of Centaurus A
(2003)We summarize the results of our Chandra AO-1 observations of the X-ray jet in the nearby radio galaxy Centaurus A, and discuss preliminary results from our ongoing monitoring campaign, the first observation of which was ... -
The jet heated x-ray filament in the Centaurus A northern middle radio lobe
(2009)We present results from a 40 ks XMM-Newton observation of the X-ray filament coincident with the southeast edge of the Centaurus A Northern Middle Radio Lobe (NML). We find that the X-ray filament consists of five spatially ... -
A flare in the jet of Pictor A
(2010)A Chandra X-ray imaging observation of the jet in Pictor A showed a feature that appears to be a flare that faded between 2000 and 2002. The feature was not detected in a follow-up observation in 2009. The jet itself is ... -
Modeling x-ray emission of a straight jet : PKS 0920-397
(2010)We summarize a study of PKS 0920-397 using our 42 ks Chandra observation in conjunction with our ATCA 20GHz image, and HST/ACS F814W and F475W images. We investigate the hypothesis that the jet X–ray emission is due to ...
